I am a real, live Fort Collins native, unlike 160,000 or so current residents. I am married to Kathy, have 2 great kids and aspire to be really funny some day.

He joins legendary Ram Jack Christiansen, who coached the @49ers from 1963-67 and is the only @CSURam in the @ProFootballHOF. I still remember Klint saving CSU’s win over Houston in 2008 with an amazing defensive play in the end zone.

I couldn’t be happier for @klintkubiak504 , who confirmed last night that he will be the next head coach of the @Raiders. Klint was one of the all-time good guys while playing at @ColoradoStateU and now becomes just the 2nd former @CSUFootball player to become an @NFL head coach.

First court storming of the @farokhmanesh5 era. What a win for @CSUMBasketball !

@CoachJimMoraFB: “Everything is in place to win championships”

[Tony Phifer @TonyPhifer]

@CoachJimMoraFB: “Good days are ahead.”

[Tony Phifer @TonyPhifer]

New @CSUFootball coach @CoachJimMoraFB is here with his family, ready to speak to eager @CSURams fans at his introductory presser.

It probably won’t happen but @CSUMBasketball @coachNikoMedved should win @mountainwest Coach of the Year. Before Christmas the Rams were a mess going nowhere fast. Today they’re in 2nd place. Yes, the leaguenis down a bit but this has gotta be Niko’s best coaching job. @CSURams

@seanphifer @CollegeGameDay Nice! The @WSUCougars flag is the icing on the cake! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@SusieWargin The Jeff Babcock Game - first time ever that a kicker returned his own kickoff for a touchdown!

[Tony Phifer @TonyPhifer]

.⁦@ColoradoStateU⁩ students got the memo: the lower bowl at Canvas is packed 55 minutes before kickoff. It’s going to be rockin’ for the #Showdown!

[Tony Phifer @TonyPhifer]

Nice to see @ColoradoStateU students out in force BEFORE kickoff. #goRams #AgDay @CSUFootball

The #Browns announced that LB Christian Kirksey and WR Rashard Higgins are retiring from the NFL and both players will sign one-day contracts with the organization to make it official.

When Hal found out that I was going to work as a sports writer for The Coloradoan he was so danged proud. Funny thing is, I never addressed any of the coaches I covered as “coach.” But Hal, who was never my coach, was different. RIP to the only man I called “coach.”

[Tony Phifer @TonyPhifer]

So sad to hear of the passing of Hal Kinard. He was a legendary PE teacher at the “old” Lincoln Jr. High and coaches basketball. He was a tireless advocate for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. It wasn’t until later that I learned he was a standout player for @CSUMBasketball.

@bobhille @Cardinals 🤣

[Tony Phifer @TonyPhifer]

@bobhille @Cardinals Is that their projected No. 3 starter, @bobhille?

Jack Christiansen is on the @ColoradoStateU Mount Rushmore - the only Ram in the @ProFootballHOF and he's also in the CSU and Colorado sports halls. Fum McGraw, another Ram legend, won 2 titles with the Lions before a knee injury ended his career in '54.
